There is definitely a possibility that the I-751 interview will be waived. That’s what happened when my wife and I showed up for what we thought was our combo interview, and the interviewer told us that my wife didn’t have to come in at all. I just did the citizenship test, and that was it. Everything was approved within a couple of hours after. You will absolutely have to do the citizenship interview though.

We were never explicitly told to bring my spouse with me for my interview, but she came along anyway as we knew there was a high probability of a combo interview. Now, my wife was never called in on the day and my I-751 and N-400 were approved on the day, but the interviewer did mention that it was a good thing that my spouse was with me all the same, just in case any issue arose. She should 100% go with you to avoid any delays int he future.

If you're eligible to apply now, I say go for it. I got tired of waiting around after being stuck at "fingerprints received" for 2 years and submitted my N-400 last April. Had my interview at the beginning of November with my I-751 still pending. Didn't even call my spouse into the interview, just did the normal N-400 interview and approved my I-751 then and there. I believe people who filed their I-751 at the same time as me without applying for the N-400 are just beginning to see approvals come in now, so it definitely helped. But the main reason for doing it was so I wouldn't have to deal with USCIS ever again.

I had what was supposed to be my combo interview last Tuesday. Brought my wife along with me because I assumed she would be required to come in too. When my name was called to go in for the interview, the agent told me that it wouldn’t be necessary for my wife to come in too. She briefly went over my I-751 application for a couple of minutes and that was it. At the end she thanked me for bringing my wife with me just in case anything did come up when going through the I-751 though.
